Change of LLP Name
Your trusted partner for seamless LLP rebranding — ensuring legal compliance, smooth transition, and updated identity under MCA regulations.
Overview
A Change of LLP Name is a formal process through which an existing Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) updates its registered name with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). This process is governed under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and requires approval from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Businesses typically change their LLP name due to rebranding, change in business activities, partner restructuring, or strategic positioning. Once approved, the LLP receives a new Certificate of Incorporation. Importantly, the LLP continues as the same legal entity — only the name changes.
